I'm bringing people back to Nikola's solo Roll Roll and Flee. The song The Law of John T. I always wondered Where John T was, even asked Nikola in an interview. his answer was: John T. is a person who's supposed to symbolize the Soul of Sweden. Like a pattern of unwritten laws of how people should act and behave in this country. Social codes and norms and such.
But why John T.? Could have been any other name. I just read something interresting this week-end.
In 1925 took place the World Famous American Trial called : Monkey Trial against John T. which opposed Darwin's evolutionist to creationist (Bible).
I know they used to call themselves monkeys and that Nikola is really cultivated and take alot of inspiration from his readings. I thought it could have taken it from them and that with Pante Rei, envy for changers, changes/evolution. I thought that it was interesting to share..

aaaaah. Thank you Karro, I finally understand the title! There's a Swedish tradition (exactly what Nikola explains) called "Jantelagen", Jante is pronounced John T, so there for: The Law Of John T. Read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jante_Law
